     Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux is not a very happy girl these days. She is in the hospital with a staph infection. (She is currently recovering from knee replacement surgery.)
Darn, darn, DARN!

If I had only told maman that I was hurting; if only I had only told her that I wasn't feeling good before the fireworks on July 4, maybe I wouldn't BE in the pickle I am in....

This is Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux, and I am NOT fine. I am in the hospital, and I am in the hospital because I have a NASTY infection in my knee (the one I had replaced). It (my knee) is really swollen, and it really hurts! I am now stuck in bed, and I am NOT to get out of bed! I have an I.V. stuck in my arm, and if I have to go pee or poop, I have to use a BEDPAN, which does NOT feel good on my bum! If you ask me, using a bedpan is a PAIN! (GRRR)

I went in to the hospital because I started having pain and pus leaking from my surgical wound, and I didn't even bother to tell maman or daddy about it because I wanted to go to the city's Fourth of July BLAST! celebration, and I did NOT want to miss the fireworks! Sure, I was hurting, but you think I was going to miss the fireworks OR my singing at the festival?? NO WAY, MAN! So I went to the festival, and tried to put the pain in my leg back from my mind, and tried to act like everything was fine, but everything was NOT fine. Now look where I am. In the HOSPITAL. (AGAIN.)

It's my own DARN fault; I should have told maman and daddy that I was hurting, but NOOOO...the festival and fireworks were more important. Now look at me. I have a stupid infection in my stupid knee, and I am in stupid isolation, and I am mad at my stupid self because it was my own STUPID fault!

My knee is really hurting; it didn't help that my doctor stuck a needle a million miles long to drain some of the crap in my knee! When I saw the size of that needle, I about DIED; I didn't know needles could be THAT long...It feels a LITTLE better, but NOT much! (STUPID needle....)

Don't know how long I'll be in the hospital, but if you ask me, I would MUCH rather be HOME!

Can't write anymore..am too upset!

Love, Ronee' Le-Anne Reaux, aged 10 1/2. :(
